You can't get to the parts you want without scrolling through the parts you don't. The way I got around it was to change my Drool subscription to individual posts, then set up a filter in my email program (I use Yahoo, so I set up a folder and a filter; gmail users can set up a tag.) All incoming Drool posts go into a specific folder, and when I have a few minutes I go into the folder and scan the individual subject lines. If I see something I don't want to read, I just delete it without even opening the message. </div><div><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">To change to individual posts, go

really feel for the folks who read through the objectionable post that has
raised such a furor on the Drool. But I'd like to remind everyone that when they
run into something they know will be disgusting or irritating, they do have the
choice not to read it. That's what I did as soon as I saw the direction that
post was going in. What I read was bad enough. We can all stop partway through a
post and skip to the next one.<br>> <br>> The Drool offers all of us a lot of good
things, but when someone posts something we disagree with or find otherwise
objectionable, no one twists our arms to read it. We don't get brownie points
for reading everything--we get to choose just what we want to read. Sometimes
when we don't have time to read it all, we skip things. We should do the same
when posts start to get nasty like this.<br>> <br>> Next time, please, fellow
Droolers, stop reading before something awful enters your mind and won't be
gotten rid of. I feel for those of you who are in this situation. If it happens
again, just stop reading and move on.<br>> <br>> None of this is to say that I
approve of the post in question. But no one is perfect, not even our wonderful
moderators. I'm glad they are there and catch 99.9 percent of the awful stuff.
Thanks, moderators, for the great job you do.<br>> Pam, food slave to the Dashing
